Abstract

Introduction: The unsafe work of construction workers directly contributes to frequent accidents in workplaces. However, the factors influencing the safety behavior of Chinese construction workers are not yet clear.

Methods: Data from 381 construction workers were analyzed to test our hypotheses.This study aimed to investigate the impact of psychosocial safety climate (PSC) on safety behavior through a cross-level model, focusing on the mediating role of psychological resilience and the moderating effect of safety-related stress.

Results: The results indicated that (1) PSC was positively associated with psychological resilience and safety behavior; (2) psychological resilience mediated the relationship between PSC and safety behavior; (3) the link between PSC and safety behavior was negatively influenced by safety-related stress; and (4) all three sub-dimensions of safety-related stress moderated the effect of PSC on safety participation.

Discussion: These findings elucidate the mechanisms underlying the connection between PSC, psychological resilience, safety-related stress, and safety behavior from a multi-level perspective. Additionally, strategies for enhancing the safety behavior of construction workers were discussed.

社会心理安全氛围如何影响建筑行业的安全行为？跨层面分析。

导言：建筑工人的不安全工作直接导致工作场所事故频发。然而，影响中国建筑工人安全行为的因素尚不明确：本研究旨在通过跨层次模型研究社会心理安全氛围（PSC）对安全行为的影响，重点关注心理弹性的中介作用和安全相关压力的调节作用：结果表明：（1）心理社会安全氛围与心理复原力和安全行为呈正相关；（2）心理复原力是心理社会安全氛围与安全行为之间关系的中介；（3）心理社会安全氛围与安全行为之间的联系受到安全相关压力的负面影响；（4）安全相关压力的三个子维度都调节了心理社会安全氛围对安全参与的影响：这些发现从多层次的角度阐明了PSC、心理复原力、安全相关压力和安全行为之间的联系机制。此外，还讨论了加强建筑工人安全行为的策略。
